Before stepping into the world of estate agency, Matt previously worked in the construction and groundskeeping industries, contributing towards his practical, can-do approach to his work.
Matt is kept pretty busy, but when time allows, he is a keen swimmer and runner. He also enjoys kayaking and taking bracing walks in the Surrey Hills with his partner Cat and their whippet Melvin.

She enjoys getting to know her landlords, tenants and their properties to ensure she can meet their needs when issues arise. She has lived locally in Surrey and Hampshire for the majority of her life, apart from a spell of time living in Wiltshire. Returning to her roots in 2001 with her grown-up family, Trish enjoys spending her free time exploring new places in the sun and dog sitting.
Melissa Cannons
Property Manager
Melissa lives in Alton with her little girl which is where she was originally from although she moved to Holland for a few years as a baby. She is a big music lover and enjoys going to gigs. She is also a fan of the great outdoors and spending time with her family. When we asked for something quirky about her, we discovered that her favourite animals are cows and lobsters which she fully accepts is a bit weird, but weird in our opinion is good! Her work passion is the property business and to learn all aspects of it. She particular enjoys working in Property Management as she likes to problem solve and so she must be really happy as Property Management always has its fair share of problems to sort out.
Natalie Hurst
Senior Property Manager
Natalie supplies expert support to our busy Property Management team looking after our Landlords Properties and making sure that any issues experienced by tenants are quickly resolved. Her colleagues describe her as both super efficient and super friendly which are the perfect combination for her role. Natalie has lived in the area all her life and when not taking care of properties enjoys walking to keep fit, yoga,cycling, a weekly Pilates class, gardening, and socialising with friends and family. If looking after our clients properties was not enough she also mentions carrying out home improvements on her list of pastimes.
Estelle Gurney
Move in Manager
Estelle has over 20 years experience of working within the lettings industry and was over the moon when she was offered a job with the Warren-Powell Richards team. Her love for property developed from a young age, when other girls were drawing princesses, Estelle was drawing houses and sticking them on her bedroom wall pretending it was an Estate Agents window!
Estelle has lived in central Farnham for many years where she lives with her husband and daughter. She enjoys being within walking distance of Farnham Park and the town centre.
In her spare time she likes to go shopping and her daughter has also developed a passion for this as well, much to her husbands delight! She also likes to spend time with family and friends, walking, going to the cinema and hopes to take up horse riding again some day. Estelle likes to be organised and tidy and loves compiling a list of what needs doing.
Kyle Nelson-Esch
Director of Lettings
Kyle has joined us in a senior management position as our Director of lettings. This side of our business has grown exponentially and requires the appointment of somebody with gravitas and experience. Kyle has worked in the industry for the last 13 years with two large corporate London agencies and the last few years have been at director level. On a more interesting note Kyle lives in Liphook with his wife and young son. We couldn’t, however, help noticing that he is actually a South African. Despite being a resident of the UK for very many years he still maintains that ‘all year round BBQ’ is both a thing and highly enjoyable…..Hmm. We are also aware of his sports obsession with favourites being Cricket and Rugby, obviously. Also mentioned were cycling, running, Formular one and MotoGP which pretty well covers everything especially as he correctly say’s Arsenal are his football team. What set’s Kyle apart from most is that he actually plays his favourite sports to a higher than average level.
Julia Nowakowska
Sales and Lettings Negotiator
Julia has joined our exceptionally successful Grayshott office as a Sales and lettings negotiator. We are thrilled she has chosen to take the leap into the challenging but highly rewarding sales arena and has chosen our company to do so. She has packed a fair amount into her relatively short career which was mostly account and administration based. She did however carry out work experience for an estate agent a few years ago which may just have sparked something within her. When not at work Julia’s down time involves spending a lot of time in the gym which exhausts her too much to do anything else other than go to bed early. However when pressed on this she admitted to mostly chatting to her personal trainer which of course can be exhausting. As her surname may suggest Julia comes from Polish lineage so the combination of Polish and English weather understandably ensues any holiday time is spent in search of the sun. Educated in Winchester and now living in Four Marks with her family which includes Gucci the family cat who is an intoxicating mix of a British short hair and a tuxedo cat which sounds absolutely adorable.
Melvin Taylor
Office Whippet
Melvin is a valued member of the Grayshott team, his easy-going nature putting clients at ease immediately upon introduction. Born in the Surrey hills Melvin did not have the easiest start, being hit by a car, and left as a puppy. Since then, however he has lead a fulfilling life and career working on a small holding and has since semi-retired into working one or two days a week in the office at WPR. His hobbies include running and kayaking with his adoptive family.
Susy Brooks
Sales Progressor
Susy joined the Grayshott team in 2023. She brings a wealth of operational, administrative and marketing experience and for many years ran her own PR and marketing business. Susy brings superb organisational skills and, having initially joined as Office Manager, is now responsible for sales progression, managing the liaison directly between both parties’ solicitors and chasing on a regular basis in order to help speed along the conveyancing process. When not at work, Susy has two teenage daughters and enjoys spending time with the family, walking the dog and visiting the local health spa for Yoga, Spinning and many other activities.
